NRL Fantasy 2022 Part 21 - Nothing but Cleary

White Lightning wrote:Shite there can't be many D. Fifita or Sexton owners in my rank range. I scored 68/2 & gained 2,876 rank. This gain should be wiped away pretty quickly tonight.

I halved my rank with just Fifita and Madden playing.

Are you making the trip to Penriff tonight Rabs? Should be a cracker

No mate I’m working til 10:30pm I’ll watch it back when I get home even if we get beaten well.

I’m going the following 2 rounds when we have the Dragons and Dogs.

RIP Grant owners he'll turn to shite now

I know the bar is on the floor after last night but Sharks v Knights and Panthers v Rabbitohs is a very attractive looking friday night of footy

Despite some 1+1 = 10 stuff earlier in the week, it appears Palasia and Robati will be the edge forwards according to captains run session. Not ideal as both have spent more time as mids lately.

Riki with reserves, should only miss this week.

I'm in the same boat. The actual week with Omicron was OK, 3 days of feeling like shit and then you pick up.
it's the chest cough that won't go away and the dizziness that hits at random times that really kicks you.
If a League player has any of these long-term effects, he'll struggle to maintain game minutes / fitness etc.

Last day of school for the term today. Missus is out on the town tonight with work mates, so it'll just be me, 6 cans (and the rest) and the footy tonight.

Getting keen already

Anyway. Last night was a good April Fools Day joke, even if it was a bit early. But when are they playing the Titans/Tigers game for real?

Only got in Sexton last week but a 44 and a 26 is irritating. Shit game doesn't help with the completions + lack of kick metres 

I'm sure he'll come around, plus plays Round 13, but he is a juicy ticket to Cleary

One of those ones where I know once I flick he'll start pumping 50s and 60s 

Congratulations MTB

I remember back on Sportal a couple of years in a row you had some rough ranks and would go quiet for a while and I missed you. You would come back after a few months and say your absence was due to not being able to watch the games because your TV had broken...again...Now we deadset can’t for the life of us get rid of you  

Publishing your FootyStats page was the single most important event ever in the wider Fantasy Community in my personal opinion.  You did in a couple of days for free what a team of purpose selected paid “professionals” couldn’t achieve in an entire off season.  

You have also had an incredibly rare run of fantastic rankings, and that tentatively suggests you may even know what the fuck you are actually doing! Well done MTB, and thankyou.

Re Covid - Me and my Mrs recently returned from Brissy. Went to a wedding and the Cows Broncos game.

My Mrs, two or three mates (wedding), and a couple family members (footy) have since tested positive.

I have been around all of them, and also not really distancing myself from my mrs. It is day 4 or 5 and I still feel dandy and have tested negative.

Safe to say I have an impenetrable immune system. On the down side, due to being away and isolating I will be missing my second straight footy game this weekend I come out of Iso on Tuesday, so I better not get it before then otherwise that'll be three weeks of no footy, then a bye for easter before I can play again, so 4 weeks no footy.

Well said SI
Congrats MTB, you are the backbone of many a fanatics enjoyment both here and across a wide range of social platforms.

It's also a treat to learn from such a talented & insightful player. Congrats

Suggested title for thread Part 22: How do you solve a problem like Fifita?

I feel like I'm just going to hold him at this point. I've said this to myself every week so far but surely next week is the week he goes big.

Its time for me to step off the down escalator for team value and switch him to a player on the up escalator.

Keep an eye on ur windows for a peering Pookus.

Am I correct in saying that we are still to have 2 bonus trades added later in the season?

Well done MTB and thank you. I'll keep it short, I'm on the mobile and SI covered it. But cheers mate, raise your bat!

Similar here Stormy, Mrs had it and I remained covid free. Feeling like superman ! 🦸‍�

Yeah well said SI, MTB is so appreciated but even more liked and comes across as a dead set legend.
